CHICAGO, Ill, February 9.-There
was big drop in wheat today. The
shrnkage of wheat was steady
throughout both SESSIONS of the board,
causing large lines of "lonG" wheat to
be thrown on the market aud ma
teriilly assisting the break. The for
eien advises were not encouraging to
holders, while the export clea ines eg.
gregated only l3l, 900 from three port.
The receipts at eleven points were
$4,000 bu. The quantity of wheat
and flour on ocean passage was equal
to 100000 Blu. of wheat, but this
la 60 decrease did not sarve to harden
prices to stay the decline. May de-
livery opened Is lower at S2Bj, fell off
to Size, rose to 82b;, but broke of
again to site, with h. avy sales all the
way down, aud the official closing
was 8ltc. Ga the curb, late in the
sjtern DON, M y was quoted down to
Sic, or full decline OF q |, during the
day. Corn t ok the came course.
There was free selling during the en-
tire session, under which May deliv-
cry old down from 40sc 10 40E, and
Close d at about that price. Inc re-
ceipts are only moderats aud the ship
ping demand is fair. Oats were
pounded heavily, the offerings for
May delivery being very large aud
